Financial Controller
Fleet, Hampshire | £80,000 + benefits
Vitae Financial Recruitment is working with a growing international organisation to recruit a Financial Controller for its UK finance function.
This is a newly created role offering the opportunity to take ownership of the financial control and technical accounting function across a number of UK entities, while helping shape the future structure of the finance team.
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will lead financial control, month-end reporting and technical accounting, while managing and developing the existing finance team. You will also play a key role in improving processes and controls and supporting the transition to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role will initially be predominantly office-based in Fleet, particularly during the initial handover and transition period, with hybrid working expected to develop thereafter. The current expectation is around 1 day working from home, although this is open to discussion.
Candidates should ideally live within approximately a 30-minute drive of Fleet.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Strong financial control and technical accounting experience
- Experience managing and developing a finance team
- Excellent month-end, balance sheet and reporting knowledge
- A good understanding of UK accounting standards
- Experience improving processes, controls and systems
- The confidence to take ownership and challenge existing ways of working
- Experience with Business Central / Microsoft Dynamics would be advantageous but is not essential
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to shape and develop a finance function, rather than simply inherit an established role.
